I based "Mamenika" on an old folk song from East of Ukraine, my native part of the country. I learned that song from a recorded singing of old ladies in Zaporizhia Oblast, where the front line currently is.
“Prybyrajsia, mamienika” was a wedding song that young women would sing to a bride while preparing for her wedding. With faith and hope, they praised the bright future awaiting the bride.

Hope and faith are the very threads creating a life jacket for the average Ukrainian now. The hope and faith of those long-gone Ukrainian ladies reached me here in the modern world, where Ukrainians are forced to wait for a bright future with nothing but hope and faith to guide them there. My hope is that by connecting these folk melodies and sounds to modern arrangements, I could connect the hope of our predecessors to their descendants and remind us about the brighter future hopefully awaiting us all.

lyrics

Прибирайся, ж мамєнька, прибирайся
Да себе дружечок сподівайся

Шоб була рибонька жарена
На тарілочку поклад(ена)

Оце ж тeбе, Надєчка. завиваєм
Не плети кісоньки украєм
Заплети кісоньку в дрібушки
Не ходить тобі й у дружки
